Hi Christopher, the AMA is open to anyone working in or for museum. It is self directed and with the support of a mentor it should help you develop the skills you need to achieve your future career aspirations. Please give me a call 02075667860, and I can tell you more about the scheme.

Hello, my questions is as followsI have been in the Building Industry for nearly 12 years and want to change to the museum sector and I know jobs are in short supply and also at present I volunteer at two local museum to get some experience front of house and galley assistant. First do I need a degree before anyone will look at me and can I do a distance learning one and lastly which one. A lot of questions and is there a place where you can have a one to one about this .Thanks

Hello, My question is, if there is a particular area of museum work you are looking to work in, but it is taking a while to get a job within that field, is it better to get a museum job to get a start within the sector and then try and move into your field. Or is is better career wise to attempt to get the job in the field you want?

What advice would you give to a young museum professional who has just arrived in Britain from another EU country? What do you think is the best way to get into the sector when your whole experience has taken place abroad?

What happens when you leave the museum sector - as so many are with job cuts, etc. How relevant and transportable is an MA in Museum Studies - and an AMA for that matter?

How important is it to have an MA in something like Museums Studies? Will it be possible to have a progressive and successful career in the sector without one, or would it make it difficult to even get shortlisted for job interviews without the MA?
